Over time, Los Angeles has become a global epicenter for arts and culture, with a distinct, interwoven multicultural influence unique to the city. Given Los Angeles' rise as an art destination of global significance, it's no surprise that the city also hosts one of the most comprehensive international contemporary art fairs in the United States. And so, after just six months, the LA Art Show returns to the LA Convention Center's South Hall for a new edition. From January 19-23, 2022, the fair is expected to offer an unparalleled international art experience with more than 80 galleries, museums, and nonprofit art organizations from around the world exhibiting painting, sculpture, works on paper, installations, photography, and design, as well as video and performance.
More than 180,000 square meters of exhibition space are available for the total of about 20,000 art objects. Beyond their booths, the domestic and foreign galleries curate special exhibitions that are at the forefront of emerging contemporary art movements. In doing so, the LA Art Show offers an exceptional range of works and experiences divided into specialized sections: Modern + Contemporary, European Pavilion, Featured Exhibitions, Roots, Project Space, Works on Paper and DIVERSEartLA. Particularly eagerly awaited is the return of the exhibition section DIVERSEartLA, which this year has a new ecological focus.
